Stronger And Stronger It Grows

Monday I had written on my facebook page that I was taking a break from facebook and being on the Internet other than to write on my blog. I have had this fire ignite in me and I have been praying to God to not let me grow cold and let the flame go out. I have hungered for him more than ever and the hunger grows stronger and stronger everyday. He told me in order for me to keep that burning I had to get things in order. I was like OK God whatever you need me to do. It may sound funny to you all, but the first thing he told me to do is to get my apartment in order and cleaned up and cleaned out. I was like OK what does this have to do with anything God. He says just do what I ask. So I have begun to get my apartment in order. I am not all the way finished but by this weekend I will have it done. My apartment has been such a mess for a while now that it has distracted me from wanting to spend time with God. Then on Monday he told me to stay off of the Internet for a while. The only thing I can do is write on my blog and post it on my facebook then that's it. I was like OK I can do that no problem. Well I didn't realize how much I had used my facebook on my mobile until I wasn't able to do it this week. I was on it on and off all day long. It was distracting me when I would get home from work or at my lunch and breaks that I could have been spending time with God. Then Tuesday nite I had an extremely long day at work. I worked 12 hrs with no lunch because it was the end of the month. I was exhausted and my body was hurting badly. I had went home ate a little bit and then went to bed. I remember thinking to myself I just want more of you as I went to sleep. I had a dream on repeat all nite long. Have you all ever had that happen? I did and it was a dream of me dancing to the song "Show Me Your Glory" by Lakewood Church. I absolutely love that song. I had that dream all nite along until I opened my eyes on Wednesday morning. That song has been in my spirit for a while but now it has a whole new meaning for me. God has begun to show me that In order for him to show us his glory we have to be willing to push all the distractions away, give up some things, clean up some things, and to watch what we put into our spirits by the way of television and music. Its one thing to pray and tell God you want more of him, but its another to do it. We often make excuses as to why we cant spend more time with him. Its because I was too tired from working 12 hrs, I had too much to do at home, I had to go here and take the kids there, there is nothing wrong with watching this it doesn't have anything really bad in it, I like this song why cant I listen to it..it doesn't talk about anything sexual or anything. What you put into your spirit man affects your thoughts and actions to things more than you know. We need to stop and take a few minutes and say OK God let me make you my number one priority and put only the things into me that you want me to have, let me do the things that you want me to do. I am not saying that you cant do things or watch things but watch what you put into yourself. I choose to keep something out of my spirit and only want him to fill me with more of him. I want him to show me his glory in a way that I have never experienced before. I want to be in that intimate moment with him when no one else is there, but him and I. I want to be able to reach out and touch him and have him wrap me in him. That's why I love this song because its exactly how I feel right now. I want him to show me his glory. Here is that song and I want you to listen to it and listen to the words. I'm sure most of you have heard it before, but listen to it with new ears and let it get into your spirit. My prayer is that he will show his glory to you like never before.
